Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from An Address: Delivered Before the Cooper Union; For the Advancement of Science and Art, New-York, February 10, 1872 Mr. President, Ladies and Gentlemen: Four years ago I had the honor of speaking before this excellent institution on the subject of the Paris Universal Exposition of 1867, that is, on the triumph of the arts of civilization, which then seemed to inaugurate in Europe an era of fraternity and peace. But now the traces of relentless war - the destructions and desecrations of an organized barbarism - are visible in the same great capital. An old adage tells us, that "what a man knows should find expression in what he does." With this conviction, and appreciating the noble mission of the Cooper Union in elevating the industrial classes, I come before you as a merchant, from the care and toil of a busy life, to speak this evening of France: the War - the Commune - the International. The incidents of the terrible foreign war, and the yet more terrible social revolution, which have shaken France to the centre, but yet failed to ruin it, you have doubtless followed with the deepest interest.
